From the Paper:
"Palliative care is an understudied and largely ignored but essential aspect of patient care as despite medical technology and procedural advances there is still always a point where patients bodies fail and death becomes the most likely outcome. Physicians in the US and elsewhere often stress that they practice medicine to save lives which gives them particular disdain for openly placing a patient in a category of the end of life and therefore sometimes results in a patient being or feeling neglected and possibly even ignored when palliative care decisions such as pain and comfort management need to be addressed. The end of life can carry with it a long list of emotional and social barriers and obstacles which can effect patient outcomes and challenge patients excessively, without the feeling of neglect and or avoidance of medical care entering into the picture, while the palliative care process when addressed and dealt with openly and appropriately can be a peaceful and calm experience that ushers individuals out of this life comfortably and with the feeling that they were cared for and respected as individuals."Sample of Sources Used:
